Caroleen’s Treasures

At last I am done with the diapers! Ummm….not yet actually but close to getting it all done.  I thought I can’t finish it because the sewing machine is acting up again. I have yet to sew the soakers and the free canvas bag since the woman ordered one dozen. I was contemplating if I still throw in a freebie since she asked for a discount already. I think I have to be firm next time because hey it is no joke to be sewing cloth diapers if you are choleric. LOL

And there is also the baby sling that I still have to make…..and then I read my sister’s comment in the previous post about a fellow blogger who wanted a couple cloth diapers…..and some other text messages asking for a quotes. While I was sewing earlier, I was feeling so overwhelmed. I am not sure if I can meet the demands if there will be and I started telling Donald that maybe I can give jobs to other moms out here. I am now open to the idea of hiring some help  but they should pass the personality test. I wanted a choleric too. LOL I am just glad that two of my customers are sanguine and they just leave it to me to choose the color. I am not saying that other personalities are hard to work with but I just feel like they are the best clients because they simply don’t care. LOL

So am off to do some more sewing. Just had a break to feed the little guy. Have a blessed day ahead!

So we’re here in Davao for 3 days…..and counting. We could have gone home yesterday even when Kuya Bernard and company postponed the trip but I am not riding a bus this time. Maybe the choleric in me is kicking in because I already set in my mind that we are not commuting going here and back there. Don’t get me wrong. I am not “maarte” because I can ride the most rusty bus in the archipelago only that I already had it in mind that we will be travelling straight. No stop-overs to every town’s terminal. I could bear that. The stop-over thing but not now, not tomorrow, not this week. Not when I already had it in mind that we are going home with Kuya Bernard. It was already planned so it is fixed. No more changing or else I declare World War. Read more… »

I have not done much today. I suppose I would do the laundry again tonight. I did some last night, just a few pairs. I wanted to wash everything but then Donald was in protest. He didn’t feel like hanging clothes in the middle of the night. That is his part during laundry day and I really appreciate him doing that because it will take me a lifetime if I was to do that. I wanted everything in order, the size and color and even the distance between should be uniform. Read more… »
